Answer 3

"I believed in Father Christmas" von Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Hier der Text:

I beleived in Father Christmas
(Emerson, Lake and Palmer)

They said there´d be snow at christmas,
they said there´d be peace on earth.
But instead it just kept on rainin´,
a veil of tears for the virgin birth.
I remember one christmas morning
a winter´s light and a distant choir.
And the peal of a bell
and that christmas tree smell,
and their eyes full of tinsel and fire.

They sold me a dream of Christmas,
they sold me a silent night.
They told me a fairy story,
´till i believed in the israelite.
I believed in father christmas
and I looked at the sky with excited eyes
´till i woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
and saw him and through his disguise.

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
i wish you a brave new year.
All anguish, pain, and sadness
leave your heart and let your road be clear.
They said there´d be snow at Christmas
they said there´d be peace on earth.
Hallelujah Noel,
be it heaven or hell
the Christmas we get we deserve.
